Massive Ship Navigates Tight River Curves to Deliver its Cargo

- In this video we follow the Northern Venture off the shores of Lake Erie as it heads upriver to deliver its cargo of crushed limestone.
We'll listen in as we hear several radio calls from the ship and from other boaters on the water.
This is the second video from a trip to Cleveland, Ohio.
This link shows the American Courage being loaded at the Cleveland Bulk Terminal:
• Big Ships, Heavy Cargo...
It ends with a surprise visit by the John G. Munson as it unloads more iron ore
This link shows how a ship reverses its way back to Lake Erie:
• Time Lapse of Freighte...
This link gives a more detailed showing of how a self-unloader is able to deliver its cargo to shore:

Thank GOD for ALL these Companies that take care of the Business that most of us never realized even existed. Thanks for shedding some light on these businesses.
Love to see you do a tour of the lakes as far as shipping. We've got limestone mines, cement plants coal power plants that receive one thousand foot freighters, scrap metal, steel mills.
It's amazing that the large ship can get up that crooked narrow river. Thanks for the very interesting video, and the great editing to condense it down to a reasonable length to watch.
Thank you very much.
I really do appreciate it.
I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic! You almost landed on the bridge near the end. Any closer and they would have to feed you lunch!
Fascinating video, I enjoyed every minute, thanks for posting I appreciate the effort !

Thank you very much, Larry.
I really do appreciate it.
Have a great day.
Your videos are fantastic! I appreciate you making them and I'm always like them. I also try to leave a comment. That blue highway bridge is beautiful, that color really pops!
Thanks, Chris.
I really do appreciate it.
I'm very glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
And yes, that blue bridge really does POP!
Man nice video!
Excellent work thank you!
Thank you very much.
I really do appreciate it.
i have attended many concerts right under that tent
Saw BOC there myself
Your videos are always so interesting and informative. You are much appreciated for your efforts. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
I really do appreciate it and I'm very glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
Oh one other thing. Depending on water and river conditions this boat could still require tug assistance.
amazing this thing navigates through without a tug to assist in the sharp turns
It really is incredible what technology has enabled these ships to be capable of.
The small grey vessel generally in front of the ship is a river pilot boat.
Thanks for the info.
Any idea why it didn't lead the ship all the way to the loading dock?
Dang it is busy on marine traffic
This is condensed down from several hours of recording but there was quite a lot of chatter.
There was also a sailboat race scheduled but I think it got cancelled.
I cut out most of that audio.
Nice video and explaination of the loading of Northern Venture. Not clear on how the comodity gets offloaded from inside the hull? Are there conveyors under the load also?
The bottom of the cargo holds are like hoppers, the holds bottoms open onto a conveyor belt which travels up the boom.
That's exactly right, Scott.
Here's a video I did which goes a little more in-depth on the process:

I wonder how does the ship go back? Does she move backward?
I plan on coming back to see in person but I believe that's how it's done.
They just reverse out the way they came in.
Although, it looks like further inland there is enough room for a ship to turn around.
So, it may just depend on where it is delivering in the river.
@@nkyrailfan I got you, thank you so much!!
Marquette the soo locks superior Duluth Thunder Bay south Chicago etc. Gary.
There is not two mooring lines on each side of the ship. There is only one mooring line on each side of the ship.
they reverse out back to lake?
I'm not sure, but this ship would need to go upriver more than a mile to find a spot to turn around.
I believe they're able to easily control themselves going forward or reversing.
So, it may just be easier to reverse out.
They back out the entire distance. Here is a video of a similarly sized ore hauler that makes the entire exit transit backwards. It's sped up quite a bit so only lasts 1:24 minutes. th-cam.com/video/BWlxk088jP4/w-d-xo.html
Very cool!
Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to put the link to it in the description for folks to check out.
I want to know how they got out of there?
I'm not sure but I believe they do the trip in reverse.
I don't think there's anywhere large enough for them to turn around.
@@nkyrailfan Well I guess you will have to be there when they leave, right?
@paulsturtz7638 I plan on a follow-up trip at some point.
It's tough to judge the ship's movements through just the app.
So, it's more of a "drive to Cleveland and hope" kind of situation.
I will record it at some point.
